Abstract: This paper presents a thermal design methodology for an integrated power electronic module (IPEM) using embedded, single-phase, and laminar-flow rectangular microchannels. Three-dimensional packaging ...

Abstract: In the 1990s, there were two experimental studies that sparked a renewed interest in thermal wave behavior at the macroscale level. Both reported thermal relaxation times of 10 s or higher. ...

Abstract: Hyperthermia is a cancer treatment modality in which body tissue is exposed to elevated temperatures to destroy cancerous cells. Hyperthermia treatment planning refers to the use of computational ...

Abstract: Parameter estimation techniques have been utilized in the development of a methodology to noninvasively measure blood perfusion using a new thermal surface probe. The core of this probe is ...

Abstract: This article is a review of optimization in relationship to experiments in four aspects. The first is the use of optimization for designing experiments to provide the maximum amount of insight ...

Abstract: A methodology was developed and implemented to optimize the design layout for i_ntegrated p_ower e_lectronics m_odules (IPEMs) by considering both the electrical and thermal performances. This ...

Abstract: A convenient method for testing and calibrating surface perfusion sensors has been developed. A phantom tissue model is used to simulate the nondirectional blood flow of tissue perfusion. A ...

Abstract: A simple, cost effective, and noninvasive blood perfusion system is tested in animal models. The system uses a small sensor to measure the heat transfer response to a thermal event (convective ...
